Malcolm Snowie and family

Snowie Group, a Stirlingshire waste specialist that disposed of millions of cows during the 2001 foot-and-mouth outbreak, was sold to Irish investors in 2005. The year before, it had been put on the market for more than £40m. It was set up by four brothers - Malcolm, Alistair, Gordon and Euan - at the family farm. The brothers' other assets include Northern Hydroseeding, a land restoration service. We take the £40m asking price as a good guide to what the Snowie Group fetched. After tax, the Snowie family, represented here by Malcolm, 50, the eldest son, is worth £30m.
